February 10, 2017 - High acidity, bone dry, strong tannins which soften after an hour. Typical cab nose and long finish. Needs some strong food to balance it.

December 20, 2015 - A Tour of Stellenbosch WIneries; 12/17/2015-12/20/2015 (The Estates in Stellenbosch): This is a big tannic but not a fruit bomb Napa style cab.
Fruity nose and initial front palate but dry and high tannins (8/10). - and as for the Ansela vd Caab, I am concerned my rating may be high - maybe a point or 2 lower
